INTRODUCTION TO GGGI
The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.
Background
Uganda Cleaner Production Center (UCPC) will conduct RECP assessments that will identify a pipeline of resource efficiency, cleaner production, renewable energy, waste valorisation, circular economy, climate adaptation, and environmental performance improvement opportunities.
However, implementation of these opportunities is often constrained by limited access to capital and weak investment preparedness among enterprises. Many companies lack the technical, financial, and managerial capacity required to package projects into bankable investment opportunities and engage effectively with financiers.
GGGI therefore intends to procure the services of a qualified consultant to provide business development, investment readiness, and green finance facilitation support to selected companies, enabling them to transform RECP recommendations into investment-ready projects and successfully pitch to financial institutions and investors.
